Not Coping

[Blackbird11]

Hey @Birdofparadise8 

That is so good to hear. Did you get enough insight into validation?

I'm doing ok thanks, saw my psychologist today and it was a really good session. 

[Birdofparadise8]

I guess so @Blackbird11 

Would you have anything else to add? 

That's good. I'm pleased it went well.

@Birdofparadise8 I missed out on a lot before I got this one…. Maybe being different industries there is more vacancies in this area of work. It’s still a 35 min drive from me there was nothing going close by

[Birdofparadise8]

Oh okay, that would be too far for me @ArraDreaming 

I have to use PT. I don't own a car. 

[Blackbird11]

Thanks @Birdofparadise8 

When we're so use to negativity, it can be difficult to let kindness land on us. It feels strange and it's difficult to accept. The most important validation is self validation. Self validation builds self esteem and confidence,  it sounds like 'I deserve to be treated with respect', 'I deserve to be treated fairly', and ' I deserve good things'.

[ArraDreaming]

Yeah we only have one car @Birdofparadise8 until we can get a new one for me and it’s logistical h nightmare

[Birdofparadise8]

Mmm, okay. Self-validation is a hard one for me. Let alone validation in general. 

Ahh, I wish I could do something right @Blackbird11 

By the way, thank you for asking about asking the questions. I really appreciated that. 

[Blackbird11]

You do the right things @Birdofparadise8 

We believe in you 💜 

[Birdofparadise8]

Okay @Blackbird11 

Thank you for believing in me, though.

@Birdofparadise8 all good. The licence wasn't the point I was making.

Yes I have my licence. I got my learner's and P's on the same day. We did it differently back then in WA. I was on my P's for 12 months and was restricted to driving max 90km an hour. There were no green and red P's or extra tests.

This is the mandala, I just finished it
